GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 683 Let Them Come!



They swore and cursed at him. He didn't pay any attention to what they are saying. They are ignorant fools warning him about the trouble coming his way. He doesn't need their help. He is more than capable enough to notice the upcoming challenge. He simply shrugged after killing them. Then he resumed his attempt to secure the crown. He is sure that none of them will respawn behind him this time around.

Unfortunately for this sorry 3, Soverick knew the number of feats they had so he knows that they can respawn. In fact, he made sure that they will respawn together by eliminating the other two who didn't have feats first so that he can eliminate them all at once again. It was not a coincidence that the 3 of them that could respawn were killed the last.

Jarkon was one of the useless two. He came chasing after Soverick and had all of his feats taken. It is a wonder that the others even have enough feats for respawning since they are such busybodies that prioritize chasing bad people over doing well in the competition.

They respawned after he has gone some distance away from them so his divine sense can't sense them. It is a good plan but he sees with more than his divine sense. In a twist, they were the ones to be caught unawares.

He soon reached the pyramid. It is a very tall and large neatly constructed structure. It would take a long time to climb it. So he bent his legs down and he jumped. He jumped up and reached the 1,000 meters height of the top of the pyramid. Then he landed beside the divine crown. 

His feet struck the stone used to make the pyramid with a large force but it didn't crack. The ground he jumped off from has been cratered. That's what should happen when a great force beyond the limit of a material is applied to it. The stone of the pyramid on the other hand can handle the impact of his fall. His eyes examined the pyramid before he shifted his attention to the divine crown.

The divine crown is a crystal crown. It is transparent and it refracts light into various colors which makes it look like a circlet carved out of a precious gem. He bent down and picked it up. The beacon of the divine crown began thrumming stronger as soon as he touched it. It also started creating a visible wave of multicolored light that spread out from the beacon in every direction.

"What a snitch." He said then he sat down. "What I have to do now is defend it."

If anyone doesn't know that the child of the plane is very close to the divine crown, now they must know that he has acquired it. The crown is announcing that the child of the plane has laid its hands on it so that those that don't want exactly that to happen will hurry on over to take the crown from him. 

Even now, people have started to surround him. They stayed far away from him but a ring of people has been formed. That ring is getting thicker and thicker by the moment as more people join it. They are not here to congratulate him. There are some that will actually like to congratulate him but they are in the minority. Most of the people that have formed a ring around the pyramid are here to have a piece of him.

"This isn't going to be easy. But nothing good is easy to acquire. Then again, I am not so easy to beat." He said to himself.

He looked at the enemies that have come to besiege him. His eyes hardened in determination. Then he said confidently, "They want to bring me down. Let them come."

He looked to the west where his major adversary is coming from. "They don't think I should be the best. Let them come."

He looked to the north where the foolish are coming together to beat him with numbers. He smirked and said, "They want to drown me. Let them come."

Then his eyes found Salvini in the arena. She turned to look at him despite the great distance between them. A savage smile appeared on his face. His eyes glinted sharply. He said again. "Let them come."

Let them come. He is ready for whatever they will throw at him. He might die. But he will never be disgraced.

He is surrounded on all sides by enemies. He should run. That is a good idea. Staying in a single location without moving will make him a good target. But he decided not to run. They will come to him. And he will put them in their place. Or at least show that if he can be taken down, it will not be easy.

His decision to stay is not solely because of pride. If his life is in real danger, then he will consider running. In fact, he will already be running if he is outmatched and outnumbered. Fortunately, his life is not in any real danger. He will resurrect if he dies. So he will give it his all.

But he is staying for three major reasons. The first reason is his image. Running denotes weakness and the weak are hunted. He managed to kill the 5 stubborn muscle heads that held up the pyramid so his enemies are currently afraid of him. They will stay away from him for now until they have the confidence of overwhelming him.

If he runs now, the table will turn. All these people will think he is afraid of them and will give chase. With his position constantly broadcasted, they will try to box him in and they will succeed in it. He is not afraid of them so he won't run. He will sit here and make an example of whoever is foolish enough to oppose him.
